Howell was jailed on preliminary charges of Level 2 felony dealing methamphetamine, Level 2 felony possession of methamphetamine, Level 6 felony maintaining a common nuisance and misdemeanor charges of possession of a handgun without a license, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.

Ridgway was northbound on Chester Boulevard in the area of Sim Hodgin Parkway when he noticed a speeding southbound vehicle, according to the release. Ridgway activated his radar and clocked the vehicle at 55 mph in a 30-mph zone. As Ridgway turned to pursue the vehicle, it turned east onto North J Street without using a signal.

After Provance pulled the vehicle into the lot of a closed business, Ridgway smelled the odor of marijuana from inside the vehicle, the release said. Richmond Police Department Officer Jordan Tudor arrived to assist Ridgway, and the officers' investigation discovered the drugs and handguns.
